Question on light 17" wheels

I am looking at some 17" light weight wheels and am considering the Kosei K1 TS in silver @ 14.1lbs.

My question is: do these wheels all have 8 holes (universal pattern)?

I need them in 4x100 (which TR states they support), but I have seen some pictures of these wheels with more than 4 holes.

Does anyone know if the Kosei K1 TS are available with only the 4x100 bolt pattern?

thanks,
-alfredo

Do you mean these? You should have no problem. They show a picture of a 5- bolt pattern but the bolt pattern spec for this model clearly states 4-100. Check out Tire Rack- when you submit your MINI year they only show you wheels that will fit your ride. They give you a little pic of a MINI to preview with, too.

I'm trying to find some lighter ones than the web-spokes myself. Those Konei's look pretty sweet. Light and fairly inexpensive. Good luck!

I had the grey ones and they were eight hole universals. I am not sure about the silver ones.

what about the 6 spoke kosei K1's (not the ones above)
Tirerack doesn't mention having them in stock, nor do they sell them when shopping for a Mini...

thanks.

I did noticed that the TireRack website shows 4x100 for the MINI when I shop... but it shows the 5 bolt pattern gekko pointed out.

I was wondering if they were also available in 4 bolt pattern only, but from what meanboy says... they may all be 8-bolt universals.

WannaMini, have you seen any silver Kosei's with only the 4 bolt pattern?

I also noticed, as robino did, that the TireRack does not show the Kosei racing as an option for the MINI... nor do they show the SSR Competitions (of course those are ~400 each... ouch).

I'll look around the gallery to see if I can find some wheel pictures with these Kosei K1 TS.

thanks,
